Conan's Almighty Extraction

"So that's how it is..."

"What a powerful criminal method..."

"In this way, there will be no footprints left on the surrounding snow!"

"Indeed, a rope can be formed by passing the rope through the belt hole of the body's trousers."

After watching the whole process of Shiraiwa Maha's demonstration, everyone present was amazed. They did not expect Hamano Toshiya's body to be transported into the snow in such a way.

"That's right, the murderer used the hand crossbow in the empty space in the middle of the backyard to create a fulcrum for the cable in an instant, and then made the impossible possible." Bai Yanzhenyu also felt a little bit emotional, such an exquisite technique , is not what ordinary people can think of.

"Wait a minute, brother Baiyan, I have a question. If the murderer uses this method, how will he deal with the aftermath of this arrangement?"

Xu Lian Qingri Lu suddenly stepped forward, pointed to the snow between the trees on both sides and asked: "If the fishing line is pulled back, there will be traces of the fishing line on the snow. How to deal with it?"

"The solution is very simple. Tie this fishing line to the crossbow and shoot it casually towards the sky above the woods. At the moment of shooting again, cut the fishing line tied to the balcony together. In this way, these few fishing lines They will all be carried by the crossbow arrows into the woods."

While explaining, Bai Yanmao cut the fishing line, and the few fishing lines that formed the simple fishing net before flew into the woods along with the crossbow.

Xu Lian Qingri Lu looked at the big trees on the left and right sides of the balcony, and asked again: "But, even if the fishing line problem is solved, aren't those two crossbow bolts still stuck in the trees?"

"That's right, the murderer burned the only drawbridge that could lead to the outside before, not only to trap us here, but also to find a chance to recover all the props used in the crime before the police came here."

Bai Yanzhenyu paused for a moment, and then said in an extremely positive tone: "This is also a disguised proof that the prisoner is not an outsider, and is really among us."

Shiraiwa Maha deciphered the murderer's criminal methods, ruled out the possibility of outsiders committing the crime that had been guessed before, and narrowed the scope of the murderer's suspicion to the only ones who had time to commit the crime, between Araki and Kikue Tanaka.

Compared with the actions of the two, Kikuhui Tanaka, who ran into the woods behind the mountain without authorization, is undoubtedly the most suspicious person.

Having said that, Shiraiwa Maha looked at Tanaka Kikuhui who had a slightly strange expression, and asked, "Miss Tanaka, when you found Mr. Hamano's body, you were so scared, why did you rush to the forest behind the mountain impulsively?" , Are you really looking for the non-existent attacker?"

"What do you mean? Do you suspect that I am a murderer?"

Tanaka Kijiuhui looked like he was being wronged, and said angrily: "Please, I was almost killed by that murderer with a hand crossbow today, why is it that I am the murderer now? At that time, did you and Dojing Tower get along with each other?" Am I together?"

"Indeed, we accompanied you to pick up your clothes at the time, but we were standing at the door, and we didn't see clearly whether the crossbow arrows broke the glass from the outside and then shot into the wall of the room, or shot the crossbow arrows into the wall from the inside at the same time. , and the glass shattered along with it.”

Bai Yanmao explained lightly, while searching carefully on the balcony and the wall below, and after finding a trace left by a staple, a smile appeared on his face as expected.

"Miss Tanaka, if you guess correctly, the truth about the crossbow attack should be like this."

Shiraiwa Maha asked Arakiyoshi for a stapler and stapled the staples on the wall, preparing to expose the method of the real murderer Kikue Tanaka.

"First, thread the fishing line through the staples you have just stapled, and tie a weight where the fishing line will fit;"

"Then, pass the excess fishing line through the pillars of the balcony handrail upstairs, and pull it into the room downstairs;"

"Finally, just secure the fishing line above the bed and cover it with clothing and you're all set"

After fiddling on the balcony for a while, Shiraiwa Maha took the black hand crossbow found in the snow, placed it on the bed, and covered it with a coat.

"You have arranged this mechanism in the room in advance. When you pretend to take the clothes, cut the fishing line, and the glass on the window will automatically crack. At the same time, you use the crossbow hidden under the clothes to shoot at yourself. Shoot it from behind, pretending that the crossbow is shot from the outside."

"At the same time, you used a similar method to break the glass in the downstairs bathroom to attract other people to check the situation, and while we ran downstairs because we heard Yuanzi's exclamation, we recovered the fishing line and heavy objects and hid the crossbow on his body."

"After that, you ran to the woods in the back mountain regardless of the danger, and when everyone was distracted by the footprints you left in advance, you threw the crossbow there."

"I think the reason why you fell at that time was because you pulled out the two crossbow bolts you used to move Mr. Hamano's body from the tree trunk, and you used too much force."

After listening to Maha Shiraiwa's analysis, everyone looked at Kikue Tanaka with mixed emotions of surprise, doubt and disbelief. They never expected Kikue Tanaka to be the murderer of Toshiya Hamano.

Kikuhui Tanaka was still trying to argue, and retorted: "Although I really want to praise you, but at that time I was arranged to go to the water room to boil water. It would take seven or eight minutes just to burn firewood, and it was too late to follow what you said. Those methods of action?"

Bai Yanzhenyu smiled slightly and explained: "If the water is boiled normally, the time is indeed too late, but if the hot water is boiled in advance, there will be no problem at this point."

"That." Sonoko raised his small hand and interjected, "Brother Maha, Miss Tanaka happened to be chosen by me to heat the hot water. How could she go to heat the water in advance?"

"You really think it's a coincidence, do you know what is called Tor?"

Shiraiwa Maha rolled his eyes speechlessly, and explained: "Arranging tasks is just for Akiko, but actually Mr. Hamano's magic performance. Ms. Tanaka is Mr. Hamano's assistant. When you are asked to mark, those cards will be It has been replaced with a well-marked card, and you use a prop pen that can't draw anything."

Seeing that Tanaka Kikue was about to refute, Shiraiwa Maha released the most critical evidence, pointed to Tanaka Kikue's riding boots and said, "Don't you admit it? You caused everyone's attention when you fell, so there is no chance to deal with it Drop that crossbow arrow, and the only place to hide it is there."
